Biography
Margaret Meston (nee Clark) was born about 1813 according an Ancestry Family Tree[1]although she gave her age as 37. However, this is probably because she gave her age as 46 in 1859 on the passenger list when the family emigrated to Australia, and arrived in Port Phillip Bay in September of that year.
Margaret Clark married Alexander Meston in 1838 in her home town of Glenmuick, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. For family details see Alexander's profile.
Margaret Meston's FindAGrave record also gives her birth year as 1813 in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This record gives her death on 26 January 1891 in the Clarence Valley Council, New South Wales, Australia, while the Ancestry Family Tree has the specific location as Maclean, which is where she was buried in Maclean Cemetery, Maclean, Clarence Valley Council, New South Wales, Australia. The tombstone gives the details for her husband Alexander and herself, with her age at death as 78, which if correct, means she was born before 26 January 1813.
She passed away in 1891.
